Share Proton Docs link for collaboration without requiring Proton account
The new Proton Docs Feature just came out.
I wanted to use it, but i can't share the document so, that friends can collaborate. They don't all have a proton account.
That's why the sharing feature with the E-Mails doesn’t help a lot.
Normally you can just create a link to each document, so that others can edit it.
But at the moment this isn’t possible.
It’s a quite standard feature I personally would expect from a drive with documents.
One Option i tried is creating a sharable link in Proton Drive with a folder. In that Folder i got the Document. I can share the folder, but when my friends click on the folder link they can’t open the Document in it.
https://proton.me/support/drive-shareable-link
I get this error message: "Public sharing of documents is not yet supported. Please asks the owner to directly invite you to dthe document."
Without this feature the whole document drive thing doesn’t has a lot of use for me personally.
Thanks for your constant work.

It would be physically impossible for them to make it so people without a proton account can edit documents. At least impossible to do so without most likely compromising the security of their system. The best they could do is make it so people without a proton account can still view. The latter, being able to view documents without a proton account, I would like to however see integrated, but editing without one would prove to be impossible. Also, apologies in advance if I completely misunderstood what you were saying!

This goes for me, as well.

I'm trying to provide a location for my healthcare provider to upload data to but I can only share a view link so this is impossible... I guess I'll continue to use Google Drive instead.

It's not an issue, the feature just simply doesn't exist.

If I want to move from googledocs, I need to be able to set up link sharing, basically anyone to edit a doc via a special link - I know that's not exactly a 'privacy' concern, but it could still dodge the screen scraping bots.
